I was pretty peeved myself. They kept claiming that this was TV
of the 90's, a new era, yet they completely neglected the one
truly inventive show, opted for the old standbys...

Did you notice the audience reaction when David Lynch for director,
Kyle for actor-esp. him, the audience really applauded--& then
Twin Peaks for best series were announced? I could almost swear I heard a
few groans when they mentioned L.A. Law for best show....

--Anyway, who is this Midge Jones, & will Pete the Poodle have
a tete-a-tete with her? And will Josey by able to participate
with old Pete in the mixed doubles fishing tournament, & if so
will they win....

less than 2 weeks to TP-day...
